CHICAGO, Nov. lit is settled Louis
Lingg killed himself with a dynamite
bomb and not a Illuminating cap as at
first supposed His cell was given a
thorough oyerhauling to-day for the first
time since the suicide. Shattered pieces
of pipe were found, showing conclusively
that Lingg had exploded a dynamite bomb
in his mouth and not Illuminating cap.
One of the pieces over an inch long APP
pears to have been torn lOngitudindlly
from larger piece by the explosion. The
condition of the walls of Llngg's cell
bear out the theory of the bomb. Large
pieces of solid masonry and broken off
by the force of the miscels of which
the bomb was made. How the bomb got
into his possession is a mystery. SuS-
piCion was at first directed to one of the
deputies on guard, but it is now no
longer thought of and it is generally be
lieved Lingg had the bomb at the time
the Others were found, and had it secreted
in his hair. He could very easily do This
as his hair was over six inches long and
very thick. 1t is the opinion of the Jail
officials the bombs were all passed through
the iron casing by his fri" nds outside, al
though Lingg may have filed them him
self in the cell. In cleaning the cell a

A Noted Blockade Merchant.

Charles K. Prioleau has just died in
England, aged sixty-one years. Prioleau
was resident partner in Liverpool OF
the firm of Frazer, Trenholm & Co., who
were largely interested in blockade run
ming the during war of rebellion and was
known as the friend OF the Confederacy.
Early in the war he fitted out steam
ship and loaded it with one Whitworth
rihod gun, two Blakely rided guns, The
largest piece OF ordnance in the world
at that time, and lot of Enfield rifles
and ammunition and presented them to
the Confederate government. The
steamer was known as the Sumter, and
ran through the blockading fleet into
the port of Wilmington, n. g., in broad
daylight and landed her stores. The
Whitworth gun was used in the early
battles of Virginia and did great execu-
ton, its range being greater than any
guns in the United States. The Blakely
guns were mounted in the city Of
Charleston during the siege, but never
fred shot at the besiegers. They were
blown up at the evacuation. The Enfield
rifles sent by him were the first ever
used by the Confederates. Prioleall was
also on board the yacht Deerhound dur
ing the fight between the Alabama and
Kearsarge, off Cherbourg, and which
rescued the Alabama's crew after the
sinking of the vessel.-New York Sun.

Dissatisfied EraiSrcn,s.

Yesterday afternoon a Constitution re-
porter met group of colored men, women
and children near the car-shcd. They con-
stitute part OF gang OF emigran:s that
left Fairfield and Laurens counties, S. c.,
about eight months since, to try their luck
in Arkansas. Alex. Darby and John
Lykes, the leaders Of the party, talked
freely about their experience! Said Darby:
'EWe went West with the idea that we
would better our condition. l was prom
ised two dollars day to do railroad work.
When ! got to Little Rock found that /
would get only one dollar g day. soon
found that things were much higher in Ar
kansas than in South Carolina, and the
folks much meaner. The immigrant agent
that made such brash promises to US didn't
keep his promises. We found that the sit
uation was gloomier than lie one Ne left
behind US, and l got some OF my old
friends together and Induced them to re-
turn to their home in old South Carolina. .
Darby went on to tell about the hardships
to which his party had been subjected, and
told about disease which had decimated
their ranks. He is heartily sick Of the
West, and declares that for the remainder
Of his life he will be satisfied to dwell II
South Carolina. where he was born and
raised. Many Others who went to Arkansas
are anxious to get back, Darby says, but
they haven't the means. He believes that
the exodus of negroes Westward Will not
again assume large proportions.-ItIanta

4 NAMELESS CASE.

My case has been q very curious one
FOR about thirteen years. AZ interals OF
about one week would be attacked with
spells Of severe and most excruciating
pain, always commencing in the region
Of my kidneys The pain would then 80
upwards and affect my body and head,
and seemed to penetrate my very eye
balls, creating the most intense suffering,
lasting about eight hours each spell.
| resorted to all kinds Of medicine
without benefit. Several doctols treated
my case, but none gave relief. l finally
used B. B. B. as an experiment, and tc
my utter astonishment ali pain and suf'
fering vanished after using three doses.
To the present time have used three
bottles, and not pain has ever return,
ed. I do not know what was the matter,
neither could my physician name the
complaint. The 3. B. 3. acted finely
and powerfully upon my kidneys; my
appetite has been splendid and my con
stitution built up rapidly.

"HOLD YOUR GROUND"
The Last Order Given by General Stonewall
jackson.
(St. Nicholas for August.)

(St. NlcnoiaS lOr August
After nightfall Stonevall Jackson rode
off with his staff to reconnoitcr il front
of the line he had gained. It was. his
idea to stretch completely around in the
rear of Hooker and cut him off from the
river.
The night was dark and jackson soon
came upon the Union lines. Their IN
fantry drove him back, and as he re-
turned in the darkness his own soldiers
began firing at their commander, OF
course n1istaking his party for the
enemy. Jackson was shot IL the hand
and wrist and in the upper arm at the
same time. His horsc turned and the
General lost his hold OF the bride rein:
his cap was brushed from his head by
the branches: he reeled and was caught
in the arms of an officer. Alter mo-
ment he was assisted to dismount: his
wound was examined and a litter was
brought. Just then the Union artillery
opened again, and a murderous tire
came down upon the party through the
woods and the darkness. One OF the
litter bearers stumbled and fell, and the
others we're frightened; they laid the
litter down on the ground, the furious
storm of shot and shell sweeping over
them like hail. Jackson attempted tc
rise, but his aide-de-camp held him down
till the tempest Of fire was lulied. Tber
the wounded General was helped to rise,
and walked few steps in the forest
but he became faint, and was Laid again
on the litter. Once he rolled to the
ground, when an assistant was shot, and
the litter fell. Just then General Pender
one of his subordinates, passed. He
stopped and said:
ssI hope you are not seriously hurt
General. I fear shall have to retire ~
troops, they are so much broken"
But Jackson looked up at once ant
exclaimed:
s.You must hold your ground, Genera
Pender; you must hold your ground
sir!!'
This was the last order he ever gave
he was borne some distance to the near
est house and examined by the surgeon
and after midnight his left arm was am
putated at the shoulder.
When Lee was told that his mos
trusted lieutenant had been wounded, b.
was greatly distressed, for the relation
between them were almost tender.

CONGO PIGMIES.
The Cunning Liliputians Living in the
Heart of Africa.


(From the san Francisco Examiner.)
Ronzo de Leo, who travelled rany
years in Africa with DR.. Living tone,
was one who almost stood out alone in
the assertion that race of dwarfs lived
in Central Africa. In his lectures II
America he told of a little people WHO
fled to the clefts OF the rocks when the
explorers approached. c. Eugene Wolff,
who travelled many years with Stanley,
and who is now in the city, gives some
queer accounts of these dwarfs. "On
the southern branches of the Congo"
said he to an Examiner reporter, 81
have seen whole villages of these Lilipu-
tians. They are generous little people
who live in rude huts and clear ground,
engaging in varied sorts of agriculture.
They are also skilled hunters and they
make palm wine. They are as 1.-the and
supple in climbing trees as monkeys or
balloons, although they are physically as
perfect men as any of the giant tribes
thereabout, and they know as much.
The men are not over four feet and g
half high, while the women arc a good
deal smaller. These tiny little men are
both brave and cunning. They are ex-
perts with the bow and arrow, and
readily bring down the African bison,
antelope and even elephants with them.
AS trappers of small animals they are un-
surpassed. In close pinch they use the
lance with astonishing dexterity, and an
ordinary sling in their hands is welded
with wonderful skill. The dwarfs col
lect the sap of the palm, with which
they make soap. The men are smooth
faced and OF a rich mahogany color,
while the hair is short, kinky and as
black as night. Tens of thousands Of
them live on the south branch Of the
Congo. They are an affabie, kind
hearted people, of simple ways and de-
void of vicious tendencies to greater
degree than most semi-barbaric races.
The womeD are industrious and amiable.
Very queer those people look alongside
the great swarthy blacks further up on
the Congo. The latter are OF prodigious
size, uncouth, rude to the remotest de-
gree and enthusiastically inclined. The
dwarfs stand in awe OF them, but are so
brave and cunning that, with all the
odds of physique against them, the pig
mics are masters of the situation.
